shiverbones Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 How close are you on the DC run Scrooge? Looks like there is some costly issues in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Wow, there have been some mind blowing shots!! Here is my meager contribution to the thread... I have only started re-collecting in the last two years, after selling what few G.A. books I had to buy an original Frank R. Paul pulp illustration. Since I've started buying again, I've concentrated on my favorite covers (and artists), and try to be selective in my choices. Would love to see someone else's Centaur or early Fox group shot! Has that been done on this thread yet? It may be small - but still very cool. Have you posted the Paul Illo.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Dude Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I am about ten issues away from completing my Tracy run. Most of my collection is in storage so I could not get a picture of the complete grouping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 How close are you on the DC run Scrooge? Looks like there is some costly issues in there. Don't encourage me! I've got 31 of the 41 I need. Missing: Action, Batman, Comic Cavalcade, Fox & Crow, Girl's Romances, Hollywood Funny Folks, Secret Hearts, Sensation, Superboy and Wonder Woman. Have: A Date with Judy, Adventure, Adventures of Bob Hope, Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog, All-American Western, All-Star Western, Animal Antics, Big Town, Buzzy, Dale Evans, Detective, Flippity & Flop, Funny Stuff, GangBusters, Girl's Love Stories, Here's Howie, House of Mystery, Jimmy Wakely, Leading Screen, Leave it to Binky, Mr. District Attorney, Mutt and Jeff, Mystery in Space, Peter Porkchops, Real Screen, Star Splangled, Strange Adventures, Superman, Tomahawk, Western Comics, World's Finest It never fails that Romance books end up on the remaining list. However, for DC, I am to blame: I let some go by me not realizing that I should buy them when I see them! Of the books above (for March 1952), in order of me seeing them most frequently, I'd say: Action Batman Superboy Fox & Crow Wonder Woman Funny Folks Sensation Girl's Romance Comic Cavalcade Secret Hearts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I am just trying to get the covers I really like, and examples from every genre. I suppose sometime down the road I might try and get all of them. Are you going for a full set?

PUNYHUMAN Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Nah!! I need a Catman # 27 . I already have # 28, # 29 , # 30 # 31# 32 . I'm not crazy over # 26 . i wouldn't turn it down if the price was right though & it had nice eye appeal. There is though other L. B. Cole books that I will go after in the future , but collecting Centaurs & Fox comics among others keeps me busy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareHighGrade Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Someone should start a thread that focuses on early Fox covers. I don't think we've had one like that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Man, I missed some great posts today! Let's start here: Great books, Ryan! I would love to know more about that Rex Dexter one-shot, as I've always been curious about it (and funny enough, I came across a full-page ad for it in Fantastic Comics #10 earlier today which renewed my curiosity). How are the stories inside? Is the art pretty generic, or do you recognize any of the more distinctive artists from the other Fox titles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my collection is in storage so I could not get a picture of the complete grouping. Don't see too many Tracys shown here on the boards. Congrats.
